I was given quite a lot of information on healthy communication techniques during my last stay in Ottawa's EDP. I'm happy to share these with you, and I hope you find some of them useful.

You have a right to say "No".
Some people find it exceedingly difficult to say...
Today was my first day at school. I was actually supposed to start Monday but the school was closed for bad weather. So you might say that it hasn't got off to a very good start, especially as I fell on the sidewalk walking in.
First I went to the bookstore and got all my books except for...
Yesterday I ran into the junior pastor of my old church and had quite a lengthy conversation with him about why I left so abruptly. Of course he wanted to know where I was going now, if I was going at all, and was rather dismayed to find out I've gone over to the Dark Side...
Just starting to get familiar with this site and I thought I'd try out writing a blog post! I've become so unfamiliar with writing about myself - I already write for a makeup and beauty blog which is very non-personal, factual and full of super-high-quality photos of lipsticks and hundreds of...
I have a cousin, I'll call him Luke, who I am pretty sure is on the spectrum. I don't know, however, because whatever Luke has is not to be discussed. As far as I know, he has never been diagnosed with anything. The family attitude is Luke is just Luke. He's different. That's just the way...
Recently I found out that one of my friends from the theater has quit his job and is now unemployed. It wasn't much of a job to begin with, I guess, and there was some BS going on at work. Well, hate to tell you this, but no matter where you go there is always going to be BS. Some places more...
Two millennia ago, so the story goes, a Roman official asked a prisoner who stood before him, "What is truth?" But the prisoner did not reply although up to that point he had been talking quite a bit about truth. The story does not give any explanation for the prisoner's silence at this...
I was pleased to read this interview with Henry and Kamila Markram, originators of the Intense World Theory of autism.
I find that their conception of autism reflects my experience quite well. The next time someone asks me what autism and Asperger's is all about, I'm going to point them to...
And there I was thinking I was able to vent on here.
Brilliant.
Off I go to find somewhere where I can vent, no matter how ridiculous, over blown or full of ****
1.Have you ever wondered what role the nutrition and gastrointestinal and immune systems play in autism
2. Why do children with autism have traces of mercury or other heavy metals in there system
Well before I explain the correlation between autism and nutrition, gastrointestinal and...
THIS IS NOT AIMED AT ANYONE ON HERE! It is at someone I know personally and facebook .
but SERIOUSLY!
**** OFF EVERYONE! YOU TRY AND ****ING STICK UP FOR SOMEONE AND ALL YOU ****ING GET IT ****ING COMPLAINING!
I'm so ****ing sick of people thinking its ok to have a o at people who...
Spectrum Magazine was launched in 2013 by Mercedes Lucero and founded on the belief that everyone has the ability to bring something lovely into the world. We are an online art and literary magazine by, for, and about those with autism and developmental disabilities. We are committed to...
Sometimes I wonder what planet motivational speakers live on. The other day we had one come to my workplace to discuss stress and burnout. This is at our busiest time of year, when we are burdened with complicated, time-consuming projects that pop up at the last moment and have to be done...
Joining this group, reading other's posts, identifying with them plus writing my own posts has brought me closer to understanding my own autism and myself. I hope this website can do the same for everyone else here. Thank you AC members, moderators and Administrators.

I have started composing a flyer that I am going to carry around with me in my purse so that the next time I am ambushed (especially in a sticky situation) about finding a home for a cat, I can hand it to them. I don't intend to distribute it to the general public, only to those people who come...
Thank you all for your patience, kindness and trying to teach me in a gentle way.
Especially when I have vented about a lack of contact with my son and my ex-wife. You all gently have allowed me to vent.
Many times on various threads I think "no way man, I'm right, you are wrong." Then...
Ok my eyes are too tired to research all this now. But if anyone has easy simple answers for the above I'd appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
A few days ago had a pain in the foot. Waking up one morning the pain was so bad I took a pain killer which didn't work. Then I took 4 advils which worked somewhat. I'm surprised as I haven't had an attack of Gout in years.
By the 2nd day of taking 4 advil a few times a day, using ice &...
Once again, I have been asked about finding a home for a cat. This time it was "I rescued this kitten from a man who was going to kill it, but I can't keep it due to whatever, so could you take it in for a while?" Arrgh!
I do not know why people seem to think that I am the go-to person for...
